bootonce feature is temporary, one time boot, activated by
"bectl activate -t BE", "bectl activate -T BE" will reset the bootonce flag.
By default, the bootonce setting is reset on attempt to boot and the next
boot will use previously active BE.
By setting zfs_bootonce_activate="YES" in rc.conf, the bootonce BE will
be set permanently active.
bootonce dataset name is recorded in boot pool labels, bootenv area.
in case of nextboot, the nextboot_enable boolean variable is recorded in
freebsd:nvstore nvlist, also stored in boot pool label bootenv area.
On boot, the loader will process /boot/nextboot.conf if nextboot_enable
is "YES", and will set nextboot_enable to "NO", preventing /boot/nextboot.conf
processing on next boot.
bootonce and nextboot features are usable in both UEFI and BIOS boot.
To use bootonce/nextboot features, the boot loader needs to be updated on disk;
if loader.efi is stored on ESP, then ESP needs to be updated and
for BIOS boot, stage2 (zfsboot or gptzfsboot) needs to be updated
(gpart or other tools).
At this time, only lua loader is updated.

The primary benefit is maintaining a completely shared
code base with the community allowing FreeBSD to receive
new features sooner and with less effort.
I would advise against doing 'zpool upgrade'
or creating indispensable pools using new
features until this change has had a month+
to soak.
Work on merging FreeBSD support in to what was
at the time "ZFS on Linux" began in August 2018.
I first publicly proposed transitioning FreeBSD
to (new) OpenZFS on December 18th, 2018. FreeBSD
support in OpenZFS was finally completed in December
2019. A CFT for downstreaming OpenZFS support in
to FreeBSD was first issued on July 8th. All issues
that were reported have been addressed or, for
a couple of less critical matters there are
pull requests in progress with OpenZFS. iXsystems
has tested and dogfooded extensively internally.
The TrueNAS 12 release is based on OpenZFS with
some additional features that have not yet made
it upstream.
Improvements include:
project quotas, encrypted datasets,
allocation classes, vectorized raidz,
vectorized checksums, various command line
improvements, zstd compression.
Thanks to those who have helped along the way:
Ryan Moeller, Allan Jude, Zack Welch, and many
others.

Some background: in the GSoC project, libbe/Makefile lived in lib/libbe. I
created projects/bectl branch, maintained the above for all of five
minutes before I misread Makefile.inc1 and decided that it couldn't possibly
build outside of cddl/, so I kicked the Makefile out into the cddl/ build
and all was good. The misreading was of the bit where .WAIT is added to
SUBDIR after lib, libexec but prior to building bin and cddl *only during
the install targets*, which is the critical part.
Fast forward- buildworld was still broken in my branch unbeknownst to me
because I didn't nuke my OBJDIR. Combing through Makefile.inc1 eventually
revealed the necessary magic to make sure that libbe's dependencies are
specified well enough, and it becomes clear what needs done to make a
non-cddl/ build work. This is an interesting prospect, because the build
split is kind of annoying to work with.
IGNORE_PRAGMA is added to avoid dropping WARNS by one more. This was
previously pulled in via cddl/Makefile.inc.
directories to SUBDIR.${MK_TESTS} idiom
This is being done to pave the way for future work (and homogenity) in
^/projects/make-check-sandbox .
No functional change intended.
MFC after: 1 weeks
This change adds tests/ directories in the source tree to create various
subdirectories in /usr/tests/ and to install placeholder Kyuafiles for
them.
the relevant hierarchies are: cddl, etc, games, gnu and secure.
The reason for this is to simplify the addition of new test programs for
utilities or libraries under any of these directories. Doing so on a
case by case basis is unnecessary and is quite an obscure process.
There is one known issue: Some probes will display an error message along the
lines of: "Invalid address (0)"
I tested this with both a simple dtrace probe and dtruss on a few different
binaries on 32-bit. I only compiled 64-bit, did not run it, but I don't expect
problems without the modules loaded. Volunteers are welcome.

implementing some of them using existing ones.
- Allow to compile ZFS on all archs and use atomic operations surrounded
by global mutex on archs we don't have or can't have all atomic
operations needed by ZFS.
There are some insignificant non-style changes as well.
Not fixed: makefiles use ${LIBTHR} that doesn't exist, thus
breaking "make checkdpadd" and not tracking dependencies
properly.

ZFS file system was ported from OpenSolaris operating system. The code in under
CDDL license.
I'd like to thank all SUN developers that created this great piece of software.
